    In his dressing gown and slippers - I'd say that qualifies for Legend status

    Putting aside the question of his attire, the fact remains that it did get the job done.

    If the ambient temperature is around zero, won't he simply be replacing the snow with a layer of ice?

    Tune in soon for "man sets house/car on fire while clearing snow" . Experience tells me that if something can go wrong it invariably will.

    I’m surprised he didn’t try to shoot the snow off his drive.

    Why don't you own a flamethrower?

    Did you see the guy who attached a flamethrower to a drone and flamed wasps nests up a tree? I think he got arrested though, looked pretty effective.

    I would watch it, but I can't be bothered to watch the 30 second ad in front of it!
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I had one of those, probably just as effective with the snow we get now!

    I think he was very close to being a Darwin Award winner with that stunt.

    I think he’s just replaced the slippy snow with an even bigger slip hazard of unburnt fuel and slush .

    Not to mention the environmental hazard .

    Dumb!
